Really depends on the context. I personally prefer urine to be colourless.
Thatβs because dark yellow urine is a sign of poor health, but Iβm sure you knew that.
I personally like to cultivate yellow urine by dehydrating myself in the winter, what for giving my snow-writing art more βpopβ.
Really depends on the colour scheme. But dark blue and gold, or black and gold can look dope in my opinion.
Thatβs the whole reason gold even has value, for 99% of human history it was worthless but people thought it was pretty so it became expensive.
Itβs not just pretty, itβs also useful. Going back a couple centuries, there werenβt many materials that were rust resistant and as malleable as gold. That combined with the aesthetic possibilities, and the fact thatβs rare and difficult to obtain, is what made it valuable.

Yea, gold is much easier to do detailed things with then almost every other metal. And it doesnβt react with sulphor like copper and silver do.

You missed the coolest aspect, it doesnβt oxidize! To me thatβs ridiculously cool. Also why itβs used for extremely important circuitry and such. Silver/platinum colored stuff looks better though
I dunno about people in general but I really donβt, itβs garish
Gold things (jewelry) usually go well with warm colored clothes, think red, pink, orange, etc.
Silver jewelry is better suited for when youβre wearing cool colored clothes.
Blue and gold is also a classic for a reason.
Yup. Also the more blonde / light brown hair color the better gold looks on you than silver.
Also, I really like how dark skin and black hair look with gold.
So for me, itβs really the medium to dark brown hair and maybe really fair skin goes well with silver.
Thatβs just my personal preference of course.
But on like cars and stuff? Gold is hideous.
No. Not at all. It looks tacky and people that flaunt it are usually fake-rich. I donβt mind spending money on quality things, but Gold does nothing for me.
I like gold detailing or engraving. Solid gold not so much.
Nope. Silver looks much better in my opinion.
I think its ghastly
Only reason i have a gold ring is because the wife insisted. I like the ring because my wife is awesome, and it reminds me of her.
I used to dislike it, but iβve noticed that itβs very complementary to my wifeβs skin tone. Therefore, Iβve come around on gold.
As an accent material? Take my money any day of the week. As the base material? Nah, I think Silver does a better job there.
Itβs been valued for so long it would be hard to separate from aesthetics. Like, itβs pretty much as old as metalworking in general.
Consider how youβd feel about a blue-coloured metal. I think that would be neat, but it doesnβt have the βclassyβ feel that gold does, and that has to be cultural.
I disliked gold, and preferred silver, until I got older. Iβm convinced itβs social programming, in my case. I learned to like gold, because of decades of being told how valuable gold is.
Why do I like deep blue? Why does anyone like any color? Thereβs probably some evolved reason for those preferences; for instance, many creatures are attracted to shiny things.
In any case, Iβm also interested in any scientific answer you get, but I wanted to put out there that I have annecdotal evidence that thereβs a lot of learned (nurture) preference, combined with some evolved preference (shiny, nature).
Depends on the game. I really like the gold revolver in rdr2 story mode. I didnβt expect to but itβs pretty awesome.
Yes? I have a slightly more yellow undertone, so silver washes me out. Gold just looks better.
I also enjoy gold accents when used sparingly in interior decoration.
